This is a SNAFU, for sure, but not TFCON's fault.

Yeah, they have.

It sounds like the accessories are TFcon exclusive still, though ( the mold used for TFcon was destroyed) and the colormatching/deco is for the Henkei Convoy.

I don't think an apology is necessary. TFcon is not responsible for FP. And FP has the right to do whatever they want with that mold. I like that you guys feel bad and are sorry for it, but its also like admitting some wrong doing is being done and its not.

Nobody, knew Premium format TFTM products would be made when the orginal ones were released. And I don't remember Hasbro apologizing.

FP is a small company. And I for one would like them to milk everything they can out of the CC mold, if it means that we will keep seeing such incredible product from them.

What was the agreement signed with FP with regards to exclusivity? I'm having a hard time blaming FP for this without knowing what exclusivity agreement really existed.

I still think it was impressive to get the PC set as an exclusive for TFCon regardless of a henkei themed release. I just think it's not fair for TFCon to put it on FP when no one is privy to the actual agreement but TFCon and FP.

now I wonder if TFcon will invite them back to 2010? I would think TFcon would not, otherwise it would just make them look a part of the whole mess. Thats just my opinion.

Well, now that we know the accessories are exclusive, that makes me feel somewhat better. It's also been confirmed the deco will match Henkei, and not classics prime.

I think we just all would have liked to know this going in, or finding out far in the future, rather than finding out so soon after the convention when we were led to believe otherwise.

I wouldn't have a problem with TFCon inviting them back. Although I would prefer an apology from them, and an effort to be more clear in the future.

[Darkspeed]

Looks like everyone else has said it before me... No one blames TFCon for what's happening, and FP shouldn't have announced the Powered Commander as an exclusive. And although I'm glad for the chance to own a set again, I can't help feeling I'd prefere the TFCon version.

I don't blame the TFCon organizers either and I'm glad they did post this note. I think it was the right thing to do given all the questions. I put all the blame on FP for not being forthcoming with this fact with the organizers. That was poor form on FP's part.

totally agree with what b/f wrote.it's not tfcon's fault in any which way or form.if i told a dealer ship that i will only use this custom color on this one vehicle for them,then go behind their backs and respray another car with that same color,I'M at fault,not the dealership.so yeah,i dont think this will affect anybody's view of tfcon,fansproject though.....diff story.(i still like what f/p does,just not how they do it.)

If this was FPs intention all along, they shouldn't have allowed the PC to be sold as an "exclusive".

It irks me even more that these Henkei plans were not included in the future product demos they had at their table in the dealer room. It makes it seem like an intentional move on their part.

Thankfully its a good toy for a good price. I don't think i'll be purchasing any FP product in the future. Too slimy, IMHO.
